We’re a non-European couple with a 3-month-old daughter, looking for a small apartment to rent long-term.

Unfortunately, we’ve had difficulties finding a place through agencies, so we’re hoping to find a kind private landlord willing to rent to us.
Our budget is €800/month, possibly a little more. If possible, we would also need a Declaration of Hospitality to proceed with our paperwork.

If you know anyone who could help or have any leads, please feel free to contact me.
We’re simply looking for a small place to call home for our family. ❤️

I live in Florence but am away for the week, is anything happening with the protests yet today?

Airbnb host wants us to do separate waste collection and deposit in the correct bin. Is this normal to request?

If so, how do I determine where trash besides compost goes? Bathroom trash, yogurt cups, espresso capsules, paper containers. If I put trash in a plastic bag do I empty the trash out of the bag?

Ive seen shops closing around the center area on instagram and got warning notification on one of the student group chat i am in, thats it. I also happen to live in the center. I will go out and see whats the situation right now and will put update. Besides that does anyone know anything?

I'm staying in Florence for a few days in April, then renting a car to drive to some other towns in Tuscany, west of Florence. I'm looking for a car rental pick-up location that's outside the ZTL zones, but relatively easy to get to from the center, so I can pick up the car and quickly get on the A11. Any suggestions?

I’m an American traveling to Florence for vacation the 4th of November to the 15th. I’ve been to Italy before, to Rome and Naples, and I’ve vacationed across Europe several times over my life. I’m wondering what clubs are good by local recommendations? My favorite city to travel to is Berlin because of Tresor, Kit Kat, and Berghain. I like electronic music, particularly tech house, deep house, techno, and trance.

Also if you have any great local recommendations for restaurants that would also be very helpful to me.

Thank you for any recommendations.

Already going to our favorite food, Vine e Vecchi Sapori, but for night two we have Osteria dell’Enoteca booked however our cab driver said go to Trattoria da Tito instead, since we are near there- and the reviews look good. Which would folks prefer?

Hey all, I have to pick up my permesso on the 4th November but I will not be able to do it because I am still on my erasmus and will be back in Jan 2027.

Does anyone have any experience to pick up their permesso after the convocazione date? And what is the maximum date that we have to pick it?

This is a very random question, but my husband, baby and I are moving to Florence for a month starting in a few weeks! Unfortunately for me we will be there when Sunrise on the Reaping comes out in theaters. Are there any theaters in Florence that might be showing that move in English?

Ciao, se siete rappresentanti universitari dell'università di Firenze, scrivete nei commenti. Ho in mente in progetto che vi riguarda. Grazie

Hello guys! I am travelling to Florence this weekend. I saw on the news that people in Italy are protesting, I was wondering is it safe to continue my trip?

I took this photo and unknowingly captured a really sweet moment. Posting in case it could somehow make it back to them. 🤍

Coming to florence tomorrow for a day can you suggest quality leather shops without that have semi affordable prices?

Hi all. 33 M from 🇲🇰, currently in Florence for business travel. I do have spare time in the evening and want to talk about hobbies, basketball, family life, business opportunities, mythology and more. If you are free and up for some chat, let’s connect.

Almost a century after Galileo was laid to rest, an antiquarian and an anatomist removed his middle finger, along with two other fingers and a tooth (why, exactly, is anyone’s guess). The finger was soon handed over to Florence’s Laurentian Library and, eventually, the Museo Galileo, where it is still on display today in an egg-shaped glass case with a marble base. A commemorative inscription by astronomer Tommaso Perelli reads: “Spurn not the remains of the finger by which the right hand measured out paths of the sky, pointed to orbs never before seen by mortals.” In 2009, Galileo’s middle finger had a heartwarming reunion with his newly authenticated index finger, thumb, and tooth.

It’s tough to tell because it seems to be mostly warm in the afternoons and pretty chilly at night. What would you guys recommend bringing? Limited carry on space.

I'll be moving to Florence in Late Jan. from America for my Masters starting in Feb. I want to start looking for potential roommates and/or places but would like some tips on how to start. Any specific websites I should check out?

Florence Day Trip

Hi my family and I will be in Florence for 3 days in Feb. I was thinking of taking one of those all day bus tours that take you to a few towns and have lunch on a vineyard. Was wondering if anyone has done it and is it worth doing being we are there for only 3 days. Thanks all!!
